How about the practical gift with a little bag of Lindt truffles? CVS has them 2 for $6. (Not that I've bought and eaten any.)

If you have to worry about the value of the gift, maybe you should re-evaluate the friendship.

^^^This

I love receiving practical gifts. Give me a bag of my favorite coffee or box of tea, a bottle of Oil of Olay moisturizer and cleanser that I use daily, a basil plant because you know I love basil, a wedge of my favorite cheese and specialty crackers, etc... I don't want anybody to spend a lot of money on a gift for me. It just isn't necessary.

A relationship without trust is like a car without gas. You can stay in it all you want, but it won't go anywhere.

Thank you for the ideas!

I think it is more I use to have the luxury of doing fun and unexpected things for people.

The gift in spirit is fun but practical. Then I heard the persons mention to someone they would love to go to X place.

I think I will stick with the practical gift. It is better for me and it was meant for fun before I heard what they really were excited about.
